Chapter 50 Making the Bed and Folding the Quilt

The queen was on the futon, and her loose long skirt covered her legs, and she couldn't even tell whether she was sitting or kneeling. But she should be kneeling. People can bully her, how can God bully her?

She was wearing a plain white silk robe, and the patterns and workmanship on the materials were very delicate, but they were obviously not suitable for each other and were too generous. In Guo Shao's opinion, it was a bit like a maternity dress... Generally, women wearing such thick clothes were either too bloated and ugly, so they were unwilling to let others see it, or they were too beautiful but they were unwilling to let others see it. The queen was obviously the latter.

"Dong, dong, dong..." The sound of wooden fish with a soothing rhythm came from a distance, faintly.

Fu knelt on the cushion for a long time. The yard was lit with incense and candles, but no one continued... After such a long wait, I could eat for two or three meals, but hundreds of people were waiting in the temple yard and could not do anything.

But Fu was not afraid of letting so many people wait. Some people were willing to wait here but were not qualified. She knelt in front of the Buddha calmly, and occasionally she could vaguely hear very subtle voices, as if she was really talking to God.

She finally stood up from the futon, but she had no intention of turning around and continued to stand there with her back to the person.

Suddenly she spoke, very lightly, but the door on Guo Shao's side was very close to him and could be heard.

"Maybe in a few days, your appointment will come down. Hujie left wing commander."

Are you talking to me? When Guo Shao heard this, he felt that he was talking to him. He did not answer, and the queen was carrying herself on her back. Obviously she didn't want others to see her talking to Guo Shao. He listened silently.

The old eunuch Cao Tai, opposite the door, half-squinted his eyes and seemed to be about to fall asleep. It was true that everyone had been standing for too long... The eunuch seemed to have heard nothing.

"You will be sent to the Western Expedition to recover the two states of Qin and Feng. I hope you can show a place to write on the battlefield this time." Fu paused, and said calmly and lightly as if he was talking to himself, "This way you can have enough qualifications to make achievements in the subsequent War to Expedition to Huainan.

The Southern Tang was the strongest country except China, and its wealth and population had even exceeded that of our dynasty. The battle against Huainan was aimed at occupying the salt, iron and elite troops of the Southern Tang Kingdom in the Huaihe River Basin, and causing them to lose their ability to advance north. This battle will be a crucial battle. If you can make achievements in this battle, you will have enough prestige and ability to become a humeral minister who is highly valued by the officials."

"At that time, I will promise you the second sister of the Fu family. You will like her. She looks very similar to me, and she is younger and more beautiful... I won't say much about what you will get if you marry the queen's sister and marry the Fu family...

The last four words are for you: first north and then south, and the focus is on the Khitan."

Guo Shao was ecstatic!

He just dealt with the next thing in a daze, his mind seemed to have floated to the clouds. The huge pie on his head made people feel a little reluctant to believe it.

Marrying the queen's sister, the daughter of the prince Fu Yanqing's family, is bound to have a high position and a high position and heavy power; and the queen said personally that the girl looks very similar to her and is even younger and more beautiful. Is there such a good thing in the world?

Fu Ermei... Guo Shao returned to the imperial city from Daxiangguo Temple and returned home again. He always thought about this. Although he didn't know each other, the ladies of noble families who were prominent and wealthy families would get married first and then talk about their relationship.

When he got home, he met Yulian again, and he tried hard to control his mood.

...Recalling Yulian's reaction a few days ago, Guo Shao thought about her inexplicable emotions towards the Fu family. Perhaps she was not entirely jealous and jealous, but she didn't want to be as scattered as the "young man" for Queen Fu, right?

He fully understood Yulian's thoughts and finally had a support. If she died for a woman who lacked nothing, she would definitely be in trouble.

Of course, Guo Shao is not the same person before, but he just doesn't know how to explain to Yulian.

But she should have been informed about the matter of going to war earlier, after all, it will take only a few months to go out.

So after dinner, when she was laying the bed and folding the quilt, Guo Shao simply said: "Today I got the news that I would change to the commander of the left wing of the Hujie Army, and then fight against Shu Kingdom in the west, and attack Qin, Feng and other states in Guanzhong. I may leave home for a while. I don't know when I will go."

Guo Shao was very brisk when he said these words, and he couldn't pretend anything. It was indeed his expectation to make achievements at this moment.

Yulian was stunned... But Guo Shao was originally a general, and going to war was his job. She should be able to understand what was inevitable.

Not only did she not persuade her, she also remained silent for a long time and said nothing.

Guo Shao gradually became a little puzzled. No matter what, she should have reacted a little.

Yulian was stunned for a while, then silently made the bed, and then came up to serve Guo Shao with loose clothes and untied her belt... She really served Guo Shao very well. In such a large yard, she was almost just working with Dong Sanmei, and Dong Sanmei was young. But she still washed and cooked Guo Shao for her, and everything was in order. She served Guo Shao like the old man, and she didn't have to do anything when she went home.

On the contrary, Guo Shao finally couldn't help it and asked, "Yulian, don't you say anything?"

She suddenly answered the question irrelevantly, "Did you ever have a sister?"

Guo Shao said in surprise: "If I say I'm going to war, you don't care about this? I suddenly asked what I did?"

Yulian said, "It's nothing, I just want to ask you. I asked you in Longjinqiaofang before, but you didn't answer me, so I didn't dare to continue asking questions at that time."

"I do have a sister." Guo Shao's ecstasy, which was originally addicted to great hope, was depressed for a moment.

After hearing this, Yulian's eyes became serious and she hurriedly said, "Can you tell me something about her?"

Guo Shao should be glad that Yulian did not ask her where she is now, whether she is dead or alive... Otherwise, it would be hard to answer, and she could only lie; he could not say that he was a thousand years later and could not control the affairs over there. Such strange words would not be easy to understand even if they were said.

And unless he had no choice, he really didn't like to make up lies and would rather not say it.

He pondered for a moment, and felt that something was fine to say, so he said, "The situation at home was very difficult before. My sister seemed a little rushed when she got married, and later she paid a lot for me to study... I have something I really want to ask her if she did that because she wanted to help me..." Speaking of this, Guo Shao's mood was very low, and there was an inexplicable depression overwhelming his heart. The last sentence was already very small and weak, "but there was no chance to ask her again, nor did he fulfill his wish."

Yulian asked in a low voice: "Is she dead?"

Guo Shao did not answer.

...

PS: There was something urgent today, and the manuscript was gone again, so after rushing back, this chapter was a bit hasty and the number of words was small. I'm sorry.
Chapter completed!
